+ | The archetype's crest is a red stylized heart, with four protusions on the bottom and three pinkish spots in the middle that make it resemble a skull, likely referencing the burn playstyle and the toxic plant theme (see below). Every member has the crest pinned somewhere on their outfit, most usually on the collar. It also features heavily in many of their Spell/Trap Cards. | ||

+ | The monster "[[Dark Angel]]", although not being an official member of this archetype, has a similar design to the rest of the "Trickstar" monsters and was also used by Skye in the anime once. | ||

Trickstar is a portmanteau of the words "Trick" and "Star" while also playing on the word "Trickster".

This archetype's secondary strategy is to disrupt your opponent's plays to prevent them from mounting a comeback. "Light Stage" can lock down their Set Spells and Traps for a turn before forcing a "use it or lose it" scenario. "[[Trickstar Reincarnation]]" banishes the opponent's entire hand and lets them draw an equal number of new cards for them (which can also deal significant burn damage off of the effect of "Lycoris"), eliminating the benefit of search cards and cards that activate in the Graveyard. "Holly Angel" prevents "Trickstar" monsters in her Link Points from being destroyed. "Lycoris" can return "Trickstar" monsters from the field to the hand to avoid other removal effects. | This archetype's secondary strategy is to disrupt your opponent's plays to prevent them from mounting a comeback.

To help facilitate the above strategies, "Trickstars" have immense searching and reviving power. "Light Stage" can search any of the "Trickstar" monsters on activation. "Candina" can search any "Trickstar" card, including herself, when Normal Summoned. This will often be "Lilybell," which you can then Special Summon, allowing you to promptly [[Link Summon]] "Holly Angel" or attack directly with "Lilybell" via its effect to recover a "Trickstar" card from the Graveyard. "Lycoris" can return "Candina" to your hand to allow you to Summon her and search again. "Reincarnation" can be banished from the Graveyard to Special Summon a "Trickstar" from the Graveyard. | To help facilitate the above strategies, "Trickstars" have immense searching and reviving power.
